When the world is looking forward to who will be the next president of the United States, the information is coming out that Kamala Harris of Indian origin will come to rule the United States again. We know that Kamala Harris was sworn in as the first female vice president of the United States in 2021, and now here again, the leader of the Democratic Party and the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, has officially announced her candidacy for the US presidential election.
U.S. After Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race, the way for Kamala Harris to become a candidate for the president was clear. Kamala Harris also noted on X that her grassroots campaign will win in November.
‘Today, I have signed the necessary forms to officially declare my candidacy for President of the United States. Now I will work hard for the votes I want. Our popular campaign in November will see success,’ Kamala Harris wrote on X.
Former US President Barack Obama also expressed his support for Kamala Harris. “Earlier this week, Michelle and I called our friend Kamala Harris. We think she would make a great President of the United States.
They have our full support. We will do everything we can to ensure their success. We hope you will join us,’ Obama shared on X account.
President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the US presidential election, announced Kamala Haris as his successor. Biden’s withdrawal is in a situation where there is a strong demand within the party to stay away from the presidential election. The US presidential election will be held on November 5. Who is Kamala Harris?
Compared to far-left democrats like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, Harris has always been seen as a moderate. In her presidential campaign last year, Harris presented herself as someone who could appeal to both progressives and moderates. Rather than trying to boost the economy, her policy thinking focused on incremental, targeted outcomes, particularly for marginalized groups such as women, people of color, and low-income Americans. Harris eventually dropped out of the race in December 2019 with low polling numbers and later endorsed Biden.
Born in Oakland, California, Harris is the daughter of a mother of Indian descent and a father of Jamaican descent. She studied at Howard University and is a member of ‘Alpha Kappa Alpha’, a prominent black fraternity. She is the first black woman San Francisco District Attorney and the first Asian American and black attorney general in California. The 55-year-old was elected to the US Senate in 2016 with a huge majority.
Harris often argues that her identity makes her uniquely suited to fight for people who have traditionally been overlooked. She married attorney Doug Emhoff in 2014, and her sister Maya officiated the ceremony. Why Joe Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate
Biden announced that he would choose a woman as his running mate, but Harris was not seen as a favorite. Senator Janet Rice’s lack of experience in domestic electoral politics led Harris to beat him. Biden settled on Harris after a thorough review that forged new political alliances, deepened existing rivalries and elevated a group of women to leadership in his party.
Kamala Harris factor in US election
In selecting Harris, the Biden campaign bet on her experience, record of governance and racial diversity. Harris was tasked with appealing to voters who typically vote Republican but who don’t support Trump, and encourage them to stay home and vote for his party on Election Day. While Biden has tended to focus more on foreign policy, the campaign hoped Harris would be more involved in domestic politics.
